Debate Expectations: Ryan Favored in Tonight's Debate (Poll)

[WI_DEM]

(Good! Obama had such high expectations last week that when he didn't meet them that hurt him as much as Romney did):

Ryan Favored in Tonight's Debate
A new Pew Research poll finds 40% of those surveyed expect Paul Ryan to perform better in tonight's vice presidential debate, while 34% expect Joe Biden to do better.

First Read: "Biden has more pressure on him going into the debate, but Ryan has the higher expectations, especially among base conservatives. And a question: Just how many will tune in to the debate? We're putting the over-under at 40 million. Remember, there are two MLB playoff games tonight, as well as Steelers-Titans NFL football game."

1. That's interesting. I don't think Ryan is much more than a bully, frankly.

If he is the intellectual hope of the Republican party, there's something amiss.

2. Don't make the mistake of thinking that Ryan

isn't intelligent, he's a gifted intelligent LIAR.

3. Being a bully is what they call winning. Sad.

6. Ryan will "win" because he'll be all smiles and shucks.

That'll be enough to woo the pundits and therefore the audience who are told what to think by them.

5. "but Ryan has the higher expectations, especially among base conservatives'
